I am booked for my BA on the 29th at long last ive wanted bigger boobs for as long as i can remember , i havent told my mum yet and i dont know how to go about telling her …. all the women in my family are big chested and have no idea how i feel , none of them agree with cosmetic surgery so its going to be a tricky convo any advice please thankyou xxxxx
I had exactly the same as you but had a lot more done than just my boobs, same as you all my family are big busted just seams to be me that they forgot when dishing them out. I had everything booked b4 I told my mum, she was far from happy and begged me not to go ahead with it, I replied, I am not ringing you for your approval or consent, I am a grown adult I have my reasons, I don’t expect you to understand and only telling you out of courtesy and respect but it is booked and I am doing this. She then went on about how lovely I am and I don’t need it bla bla bla, so I told her I was doing this for me no one else its about how I feel in my skin not what people think I look like, in the end she just said well that’s me told. She then called every day and begged me not to do it, I just told her to be quiet as I wasn’t listening. This was very hard for me as I have never back chatted my mother even at 32 year old I have far more respect for her but I was determined and if I wasn’t she would have won! Any way I decided that was hard work so I didn’t tell my dad! I text him the day after I had it done it was too late then, I just said I didn’t want him worrying and now he didn’t have to cos it was done! Xxxx
I didn’t tell anyone until afterwards apart from my best friend and other half, and then slowly told people, that way they couldn’t try stop me. I told my dad about my re-op, and he’s done nothing but worry (exactly why I didn’t tell him)
I had only done this for me, like you ladies, and had my heart set on it, I couldn’t have taken people telling me off beforehand, I would have backed out xx
I had the same problem, my mum works as a nurse in surgery and has always told me you shouldn’t have operations unless you need it.
In the end I was honest with her, as she could give me good/bad advice and she surprised me on how supportive she was. Women in my family also have big chests but she was like “I understand why you want one as I don’t think you are as confident as you try to let on to people”
My sister on the other hand though it was a bad idea, when I explained my reasons she just felt bad that I wanted to change myself and I should have been happy with what I was given. (again she has big boobs)
My mum decided to tell my dad, coz she didn’t want to drive me to London on her own. He didn’t say much, made a few Barbie/boob/silocone jokes but that was about it.
My advice would be sit her down for a grown up chat, then she will know you are serious and explain your reasons how you current boobs make you feel etc. and show her how much research you have done. You never know she may surprise you like mine did 🙂
Hey hun, my mum was totally against me having it done but as I live with her I had to tell her. I took her with me to a consultation and she met the surgeon, tried on implants and tried to get her involved. I made he see that I wasnt going to be huge and that I was doing it for myself and my own confidence not for anybody else! If its something you’ve always wanted then go for it but you will need a bit of help post op so always good to have someone on your side xx
thankyou so much girls all this really helps, im not bothered about her reaction coz i know she wont agree i just dont need the lecture about money and how much ive paid for them ….. but i will be telling her asap thanks again for the advise xxxxx
